One of the most eagerly anticipated smartphones for the last three months of the year is the Sony i1 Honami; less than two weeks ago, a teaser was discovered on an online forum that seemed to indicate a September 4th introduction for the phone. That now has been confirmed by a published report that states that Sony's new flagship Android handset will see the light of day on September 4th in Berlin...

aditya.k don't even try to start a discussion with this troll.. on every single Sony article I've read this guy says something negative against Sony.. so really just ignore him and cross our fingers and hope he shuts the f up once the phone is released.

Sony is making a mistake releasing it the same day as the Note III... If they really wanted attention to the phone, they could have announced it a few days before or after the revealing of the new Note. Just saying...

oh yeah?? but as far as i know nothing from xperia line can even sold as much as the note 2.. off course it didn't sell as much as s3. but the note 1 and 2 still outsell any xperia phone combine from 2011 till now..

According to wikipedia more than 8 million Note 2 have been sold in 2012 and Note 1 had no enter the ranks of best-selling phone in the year 2011/2012.
While Sony sold 33 million in 2011 and 81.9 million mobile phones in 2012.
So what are you saying that "note 1 and note 2 outsell any Xperia phone combine from 2011 till now" is a big lie.

Lets forget the past this year Sony in a much better state, increasing market share, in just 40 days Xperia Z sold 4.6 units, and in Japan Xperia A outselling S4 by 2:1.

Honestly lets not kid ourselves, the note 3 won't break any records. Sony is more interesting than Samsung so power to them. F you samsung, your phones bore me. Then again Sony doesn't pump muh nads much either.

RickyD on esato has been told that
Honami is better than Lumia 1020 for imaging
his source is a photographic artist who works for.sony mobile in china and has used and.seen.honami

While I'm looking forward to the performance of the camera, lets not forget the last time Sony came out with the Xperia Z and 13mp sensor that under performed.

While I really hope this new camera will be a huge success I would also like to see them fix a few of the flaws from the Xperia Z, mainly better screen (view angles, colors), better speakers (external speaker and also call quality improvement), and personally I don't care for all the flappy ports but I can forgive that if the other issues are remedied.

Do that Sony, and bring a version to the US that will allow me 3G/HSPA on Tmo and you have my $650 (not more).

I've been waiting for honami for a long time but looking at its leak pictures it seems like it is bigger than Xperia z which already is bigger for 5 inch phone compared to S4 and G2.
Sony make it right this time please.... :(
